Small groups, assisted homework periods, interested and motivated teachers and supervisors. Purposefully designed support in problem areas and enough time for personal one-to-one talks a very important factors in the positive development of each pupil. Our community spirit encourages traditional values and an early understanding of responsibility to fellow persons. Our family-like atmosphere and the creation of an emotional connection serve as a basis for us to ensure each pupil successfully reaches their individual potential. We see the time spent in school as a very important part of each pupil’s life, not only for education but also as training for their future life. Our school is a home away from home. Learning is positively influenced by our small teacher-to-pupil ratios which in turn encourages the community spirit both in and out of the classroom at every learning opportunity. We also send out a regular school newsletter per e-mail with all information needed about parents-day and the weekly consultation hours with different members of staff. The year planner has all the important dates marked and also the different weekend types. View full school

In 1993, Mestanta Technological Institute opened. MTI remained vibrant and effective until 1997 when a name change resulted in the current Stein Valley Nlakapamux School. Stein Valley Nlakapamux School is a registered member with the B.C. First Nations Schools Association. The School is mandated to provide instruction and courses approved by the B.C. Ministry of Education and BC Independent Schools. For the past few years, the SVN School Board has been preparing to implement the new BC Education Curriculum so that its students can be prepared for the 21st Century! The Board believes that the Nlakapamux culture and way of life is conducive to the 21st Century learning methodology and that the students will meet the new curriculum core competencies as identified in the new BC Education curriculum. The BC Ministry of Education has promoted 21st Century Learning that is based on individualized learning and project-based learning. According to the BC Ministry of Education discussion paper entitled, Defining Cross-Curricular Competencies, the principle of cross-curricular competencies should “lead to the development of the whole child – intellectually, personally, and socially. In a world of growing diversity and challenge, schools must do more than help students master the sets of knowledge and skills acquired through the standard subject areas.” The school offers a holistic and unique education blending Nlakapamux Culture, Language, and Traditions with a contemporary educational theme. We see it as our goal to lead the community in this process of renewal. We see our job as nurturing young people to become healthy, educated, and responsible citizens. Welcome to the Stein Valley Nlakapamux School. Our school is a community-based Independent School owned and operated by the Lytton First Nation. The School Board is appointed by the Lytton First Nation Chief and Council for a specified period. However, the board governs independently from the Lytton First Nation. The day-to-day operations are delegated to the School Principal. The Board sets the short and long-term strategic directions for SVNS. Although our school is owned by an aboriginal organization, its doors are open to every one according to the Community Vision. We hope that this handbook will provide you with all the information about our school. The School Board and Staff would like to create a family atmosphere in a community setting by promoting open communication between the students, parents, teaching staff, principal, and school board. New ideas are always welcome to enhance or improve the level of education that our children receive so that we can prepare them to be successful in the 21st Century! View full school
